Tennessee woman arrested for printing own money after reading online Obama had made it legal

What the hell is she using for a news source?

Maybe:

“Downs has been charged with criminal simulation and counterfeiting.”
She’ll walk. She certainly isn’t a very good simulation of a criminal.

And it won’t be me that goes anywhere with her name…

“Tasteless American Satire For The Ill-Informed”

Too many big-syllable words.

You may be right. These idiotic fake news sites have fooled more than a few people.

Most of them don’t actually advertise that they are fake right on the headline though.

I’m not saying she was a careful reader. She may have only read the headline. Bein that she glued the two sides together I’m guessing this wasn’t a particularly good counterfeit.

I read an autobiography once of a secret service agent that mentioned he once arrested someone that after a newspaper printed examples of a counterfeit bill to let people know what to look for - the person cut out the front and back from the paper (of a counterfeit bill) - glued them together and colored them with a crayon or magic marker - and successfully passed a few before getting caught.

Another actually counterfeited QUARTERS (not many) and when the secret service showed up to arrest him he was burying his dead son out back and they waited until the burial was over to arrest him.

We aren’t dealing with bright people here. Although her initial claims were that she got it (the counterfeit) at another gas station - so she might be lying about the whole thing, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she read something like that and used the “I got it somewhere else” cause she didn’t think the police would understand the secret knowledge she had.

Read? She looks like every apartment-courtyard welfare-queen system-worker who swims in a world of Seekret Trix passed among like types.

The sad part is that she’s The President of The University of Tennessee.

That is sad. Where will they find someone as smart as her for a replacement?

The average Obama voter and support I presume.

It mentioned something about a backside…

I have to say, I’m a little disappointed that she didn’t use her exciting foray into the printing business to advance the cause of feminism and FINALLY place a woman on U.S. currency. Although she probably would have selected somebody completely silly like, oh, Taylor Swift, so I guess it’s for the best that she didn’t.

Indeed, and a pity she’s a white woman, which deprives you and the rest of the Algonquin Round Table of conservative comment-section humoristes yet another opportunity to inject the hilarious witticism that she ‘looks like one of Obama’s sons’.

An uneducated white woman from Tennessee? You think she’s a typical Obama voter?

Well, I’ve been comparing the hilarious activities of PM Tsipras to those of a dumb criminal.

This one is raising the bar…

Lemme guess: You tried to print front and back on the same paper but couldn’t figure out why the printer just printed the back in the same place as the front.

I do have to admit though, that upon hooking up a flatbed scanner to a shiny new color printer, the first test was a nice, crisp 20…

This was about half an hour from my hometown. There are almost certainly more boneheads per capita there than in my current stomping grounds outside DC, but it’s not a burg full of slack jawed yokels either. As children’s author Arnold Lobel wrote is his book Fables, “when the need is strong, there are those who will believe anything.”

This is my favorite part:

I wish I could have seen the cop’s face when he found the receipts.

I can see that. You know those counterfeit-detecting pens that cashiers use? They make a black mark on regular white paper and a yellowish mark on paper currency. They also leave a yellowish mark on newsprint. Try it.
